Alamo Drafthouse is Amazing!

ABOUT

I love stories about outsiders -- intense, desperate or lonely people with their faces pressed against the glass, searching for a way in or some kind of real human connection. Like their protagonists, these films don't conform to society's standards; they're wild and unpredictable, sometimes dangerous or uncomfortable to watch, but always fascinating. When Aubrey Plaza and I were making Ingrid Goes West and looking for inspiration, these were the films we kept coming back to again and again for their fearless performances and mastery of tone. Thanks to the good people at Alamo Drafthouse for letting us share them with you. Enjoy!

“I love films about intense, desperate or lonely people searching for a way in or some kind of human connection. Like their protagonists, these films don't conform to society's standards; they're wild and unpredictable, sometimes dangerous or uncomfortable to watch, but always fascinating,” said Spicer. “When Aubrey (Plaza) and I were making INGRID GOES WEST, these were the films we kept coming back to again and again for their fearless performances and mastery of tone.”

Participating Alamo Drafthouse theaters will screen films that range from the terrifyingly creepy (CARRIE, SINGLE WHITE FEMALE, CHUCK & BUCK) to the sublimely odd (MINNIE AND MOSKOWITZ, BOTTLE ROCKET, TO DIE FOR) to the just plain weird (THE CABLE GUY, STROSZEK).

“Repertory screenings have been a part of the Alamo Drafthouse experience since day one -- literally,” says Tim League, Alamo Drafthouse founder and CEO. “It’s been a privilege to collaborate with an artist like Matt to curate this series of hilarious, chilling and often hilariously chilling iconic films.”

Tales of the Obsessed programming will play throughout the month of August in New York City, Austin, San Francisco, Corpus Christi, Denver, El Paso, Houston, Kansas City, Lubbock, New Braunfels, Ashburn (VA), Omaha, Phoenix, San Antonio, and Yonkers. INGRID GOES WEST opens in August 11th in NY and LA, before expanding wide on August 18.
